Last year, I was attending a screening of “The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai”. Peter and co-star John Lithgow were doing a Q&A, moderated by Kevin (“The View Askew Saga”) Smith. Some guy near me fell asleep and was snoring. Peter heard him, thought it was rude and wanted him to wake up. So, not wanting to disobey “Murphy”, I tapped the guy’s shoulder. It was one of those fanboy moments I’ll cherish til I die. 🙂
